The Nomadic Theatre Co, based in Portland, Oregon, has been creating and performing original physical theatre shows since 2002. To develop a new show, Nomadic performers and directors take ideas which interest and excite them and delve into them in the studio. For example, they created How to Fly by physically exploring numerous aspects and avenues of the topic of flight. The three core company members - Michael O'Neill, Sarah Liane Foster and Heather Pearl - have performed and taught in communities across the United States as well as internationally. They are graduates of the Dell'Arte International School of Blue Lake, CA. More information can be found at http://www.nomadictheatre.org/.
